Are Prevacid Kidney Complications Class Action Lawsuits Active?

As of August 2016 a Prevacid class action lawsuit against Takeda Pharmaceuticals has not been created with no indications that one may be created soon.

Although other PPI drugs – like Nexium – are currently the subject of several class action lawsuits, the over-the-counter nature and comparably small impact of Prevacid has put it on a slower path to class action lawsuit consolidation.

With individual lawsuits currently being investigated, it may be an extended period of time before a class action begins to take form.

In the event that a class action is never formed, it is likely that a federal judicial panel may instead choose to consolidate all cases under multidistrict litigation (MDL). An MDL is the most common consolidation option pursued in dangerous drug cases. .

How Do I Join A Prevacid Class Action Lawsuit?

If a Prevacid class action lawsuit is created or if an MDL becomes active, those who have begun the process of filing an individual lawsuit against Takeda pharmaceuticals may be eligible to consolidate with over cases under those entities.

With eligibility for consolidation under either entity tied to the status of an individual lawsuit, it is important to begin pursuing a Prevacid lawsuit promptly to ensure that you will not be deemed ineligible for future consolidation.

To file a Prevacid dangerous drug lawsuit, you must meet the following basic points of criteria:

Patient must be taking Prevacid for acid reflux

Patient must have a diagnosis of interstitial nephritis or kidney injury (chronic or acute)

If an individual is able to satisfy those two basic criteria points, an attorney will task a medical team with investigating your medical records to determine the validity and strength of any potential Prevacid dangerous drug case.

In addition to identifying the medical evidence of the case, a medical investigation will allow us to determine if the situation in question satisfies the necessary state dangerous drug lawsuit deadlines.

In the event that an investigation confirms your eligibility, you will be able to move forward with our legal team in effort to file a Prevacid dangerous drug lawsuit.

Lawsuits brought against Takeda for their neglectful handling of Prevacid will likely allege that Takeda is responsible for the following:

Failed to warn the public of the risks associated with taking Prevacid

Failed to properly test the drug for dangerous kidney complications

Withheld research data from the public about dangers of taking the drug

Sold the drug even though they knew it could be dangerous

Manufactured and sold an unsafe heartburn medication

Once a dangerous drug lawsuit has been filed, our legal team will advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of consolidation versus remaining an individual case.
